How to specify area to copy? C# WPF Datagrid

I have Copy button near each of the row, and I want the text contained in the row near button to be copied when the button is pressed.

I can't understand how to specify what needs to be copied by pressing a button?

Image of table, and what exactly I want to copy: here is picture

Solution

  • The simplest solution is to use the ApplicationCommands.Copy command. This command is handled by the DataGrid. It will automatically copy the selected row to the clipboard.

    <DataGrid>
  <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Order" Binding="{Binding Order}" />

    <DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Copy Action">
      <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
          <Button Content="Copy" 
                  Command="{x:Static ApplicationCommands.Copy}" />
        </DataTemplate>
      </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
    </DataGridTemplateColumn>
  </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
